Icy grip on Wisconsin begins to ease

Clouds coming in overnight and a bit of a west to southwest bend to the wind has pushed temperatures up. Tuesday morning we had -5 air temperature and -25 for a wind chill. This morning we are in at 8 for an air temperature and -3 on the chill chart. Still cold, but not quite as severe.

Mostly cloudy for today and with the comparatively warmer air we will trigger patchy flurries or snow showers from time to time. Just a dusting overall as highs reach the upper teens.

We're trading the cold for better chances at light snow off and on the next week or so. We'll catch a light snow early Friday morning and then again Sunday. Twenties for highs on the books through Saturday and closer to 30 on Sunday.
